Zaidu leads FC Porto squad in European experience with 28 games | OneFootball

Zaidu is currently the player in FC Porto’s squad with the most appearances in the Champions League, with a total of 28 matches in Europe’s top club competition.

The Nigerian left-back leads this internal ranking at a time when the Dragons are preparing to return to the competition, in what will be the club’s 28th participation in the Champions League. Among the players currently under Francesco Farioli, Zaidu sits at the top of this list, ahead of Diogo Costa, with 23 matches, and Pepê, with 18.

There is, however, a chance this situation could be matched soon. André Silva also has 28 Champions League appearances, although the striker has not yet been officially announced by FC Porto.

This highlights Zaidu’s European experience within the Porto squad, in a group that includes several players already accustomed to the Champions League stage. The defender’s accumulated record in the competition is one of the signs of the Nigerian international’s continued competitiveness at the highest level, at a time when FC Porto are preparing for another European campaign.
